Thanks to all posts ;)

Hello everyone, thanks you very much for your post!
My another question is it possible to put 11" wide to the rear?
BTW, My friend is driving MINI Cooper R50 (Y 2003) and he'd replaced it's stock 15" with 18".... the ride is terrible....... I can feel every small roughness of the road ....... this thing really keeps my mind spinning if my 986 will turn that bad with 19"....Is it that bad?
Anyone has an experience or what do you think?
Thanks
Tor

Depending on the size of the tire that you are using, the difference in "cushion" (i.e. sidewall thickness) between 18's and 19's can be negligible . Also, depending on the tire's composition, there can be a noticeable difference in ride quality - that isn't necessarily based on size alone . For example, my oem 18's fitted with Pirelli P-Zero Corsas were enough to knock your dental work out as compared to the current 19's that I am running . Lastly, there is no way an 11 inch wheel will fit on a 986 boxster .

Regardless of spacers or offset, there's no way an 11 inch wheel will fit a 986 boxster .
